SMU will set up a Secure Mobile Centre in three months’ time, headed by SMU’s School of Information Systems Associate Dean and Professor of Information Systems Robert Deng. Prof Deng said that one of the topics of research will be methods of isolation in order to reduce the risk of information leakage when malicious software enters smartphones. In addition, the centre will conduct research on measures to protect account safety, following the rise of smart watches and smart glasses.
